I loved the enemies-to-lovers vibes between Avirin & Pye after reading Feed, but the animosity she harbored for him at the start of this book was bordering near open hostility. I know Avirin struggled with the emotions that Pye stirs in them, it almost felt a bit insurmountable a hurdle to overcome.
I really appreciated the Pye chapters in this book. Avirin's disdain for them was so palpable, but being able to see their affection for her only grow; the desire to help her understand herself better and feel more comfortable in her own skin. To have a friend when she needed one the most. I was expecting Pye to be a bit more of a fuck-boi, but I was so pleasantly surprised to be so incredibly wrong. They were supportive, actually quite romantic, even when he was being an absolute bastard during the sex scenes--never pushing her farther than she was already willing to go, always checking in with her and making sure she was still ok.
I especially loved the epilogue letters. The cheeky formality of them was both a surprise and such a delight! I would love to get a chance to read a few of the shorts Aveda has on her patreon someday just to get a fun revisit to these characters (and to see some more art!)
